I was thinking it would be cool to patch the third brake light hole and put a stripe style third brake light in the rear windows. Like one of those under tailgate light third brake light bars.

Something like this:


And a stripe like this:


or this

 

I think that would be pretty cool. Prolly only be worth it if you were already shaving door handles and painting the truck and all.

 

It's a neat idea - you would need to fill the stock hole obviously.

Oh - by the way



Those LEDs SUCK.

Build your own PCB board and use a square array of superflux lumileds. You can include a voltage regulator like I do for low loss over-current protection.

 

its been done check out the Scion xb boards, they have a kit to convert to a larger behind window light,
but IMO its not worth it because then you have a big **** hole in your roof... why not LED your current high mount brake light?

 

That's what I did - I have 9 superflux behind there.



I'm going to redo it though, with about 50 or so superflux. I might include a PWM so I can use the 3rd brake light as a running light and a brake light this time. I can't decide.

 

I said patch the hole in the roof haha.

I was just thinking it would be cool and streamlined.

 

I think this will be me first mod. nice and simple maybe ad the cargo light to it. with running light and brake light.

 

if you do that put in the general discussion. takes lots of pics of the install. you will be my new Ranger her0.

 

I've been planning something similar to this for a while now. currently, i have a cadillac third brake light, but it just doesn't go with the look i'm after.
